Alcohol Out of Wood

Bishop McTyeire, writing to the Ma.
tional Chistia7a Advocate about visit he
made to Goodrich, Tenn, says:
Monday, until p. H., had for examin-
ing the location and employment of the
little village of Goodrich. Everything is
of recent date. Here they manufacture
alcohol from wood; and with the residatasna
-charcoal-make the best article OF iron.
The wood is put into a brick furnaces with
capacity of forty cords. Imagine long
row of these ovens being filled and emptied;
wood choppers and teams at work, for
miles around: the smoke and gas passing
through cOndensers and distillers of sew
eral sorts, and finally a tiny stream of alec
hol pouring into a reservoir-and you have
some idea of the stirring scene. Close by
they are melting and molding the raw ma
terial from the surrounding hills into pig
iron. Half-seasoned oak gives the best
yield of alcohol, and it runs from gallon
to two and half per cord. It is not drink
able, but for certain manufacturing and
art purposes is said to excel the alcohol
distilled from grain. The charcoal is of
superior quality that comes of this pro-
cess, and much is sold to other furnaces.
The narrow gauge is at hand for transport
tation. Alcohol more than pays all ex-
penses, and charcoal is clear gain.

OUR BELOVED DEAD.



Some say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
That strangers would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome face.
cannot tell how this might be
In other homes-but this know;
Could my lost sister come to me
That she would never find it So
Oftimes the flowers have come and go-le
Oft times the winter winds have blown,
The while her peaceful rest went on,
And have learned to live alone.
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life's tasks to bear my part;
But whether grave or whether gay,
hide her memory in my heart.
Fond, faithful home has blessed my way,
And friends round Inc true and tried;
They have their place, but hers to-day
Is empty as the day she died.
How would spring with bated breath, =
And JOY too deep for word or sign,
10 take my sister home from death,
And round her neck my arms entwine
l dare not dream the blissful dream,
Itlhlls my heart with with wild unrest
Where yonder cold whitemarble's CLEAN
She still must slumber-God knows best.
But this know, that those who say
Our best beloved would find no place
Have never hungered every day
Through years and years for one dear face

Its roots spring from the very depths of
the soul, aud are nourished as well by rain
as by sunshine, by sorrows as by joys.

of it then he may even in tribulation take
the comfort, though the majority of peo-
pie do not prefer to take it in that way.

Congress than ali the Democrats who have

fact was not recognized, and he was COM

The theorists who contend that protec-

tiOn Of this state, of North Carolina. or of
Tennessee. The duty imposed upon the
African and other foreign peanuts have re-
deemed these sections from improbable
and almost barren wastes and made them
productive sources of wealth, contentment
and happiness. No part of Virginia has
improved more rapidly than the eastern
counties that have cultivated peanuts, and
it is all due to the benehcent protection
secured for them by the Eon. JAMES

at first, but now production has so in
creased that competition even in prices
from abroad is out of the question. The
peanut farmers know whether protection
helps or hurts.
